Herbie HancockWatermelon Man (Under The Sun) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He's living day to day
He knows freedom is on its way
It's waiting for change to come
Silly man is under the sun
Does it take its toll on you
The way they do you like they do?
The way they don't (Follow) follow through?
Watermelon man
[Pre-Chorus]
You know you'll find a way to write off all the pain felt inside
(It's rooted in our history)
[Chorus]
I know it seems your work has just begun
But change is gonna come, don't give up on yourself
Don't give yourself away
I know it seems you're stuck in limbo
[Post-Chorus]
Under the sun, under the sun
[Verse 2]
Sweat, blood, tears, and toil
What did we fight here for?
Sweat, blood, tears, and toil
Is it too much to want more?
They say progress is slow to come by
But they crush us before we fly
Left it to survive, wondering, "Do they even try?"
Do they even try?
[Pre-Chorus]
You know you'll find a way to write off all the pain felt inside
(It's rooted in our history)
[Chorus]
I know it seems your work has just begun
But change is gonna come, don't give up on yourself
Don't give yourself away-way
I know it seems you're stuck in limbo
[Post-Chorus]
Under the sun, under the sun
Under the sun, under the sun
